When we lost Flower someone posted a memorial candlelight ceremony for her and I feel Mozart should be honored and remembered there too. I was crying so hard when I was adding her name to the tribute list I made some typing errors (I'm so sorry Mozart) I didn't even type my email right. The ceremony is Monday night and the web site gives the time for whatever area you are in. It is done in a live chat room and is really beautiful.

thank you katspirit! We just lost our Flower now Mozart, I just went to the site, and entered the Monday ceremony. Heres a little poem for our Mozart:
Mozart
Mozart, so small so beautiful, caring intelligent
you made your way into my heart
Now, so fast we have to part,
You always tried so hard
Just to fit in and be a part of..
You fought you cried, and all along
I just loved you so, you never gave
up!
From the day you were a meerkat pup,
To the day you left us to go to your
heavenly family.
You were like your mother flower who went
Before you , you my precious
Mozart , definately, among the angels that walked the earth, and for a short time graced us with your much loved presence!
Peace be with you my precious Mozart
Tapirs

Such beautiful words for a beautiful meerkat. She was an angel that walked the earth and now she is an angel in her heavenly burrow and home once again with her family. She was such a loyal little caretaker of so many. It has been so hard this season having so many of the little ones taken away from us. I have never cried so much in my life. Cyber hugs to you tapirs in your sorrow and to all.

Here is a link for a photograph of our beautiful princess.

Also here is a link to sentry sounds I downloaded for my computerat Science News Online. It's under the picture of "Watch Kat" Now my puter chirps sentry calls when I start up and shut down!

Hello everyone..It's me Mozart,

Please don't be sad by my dying. I am happy now. I have all of my relatives with me, my pups, who I never got to know until now, Kinks is here and Carlos who is busy being the Casanova of Heaven (his new title)....and of course, my mom. She and I have had a wonderful talk and we are just fine. Thank you, everyone, for thinking of me, for writing to me and caring so much for me. I never really thought anyone cared. How nice to know that I am appreciated. I do love all of you and I am looking down at everyone all of the time. I am also having a wonderful time with Wilson. He is my best friend and my partner. He is a really nice meerkat. Please be sure to support my family, the Whiskers, as they really need you. In closing, please be kind to Meerkata. She is really having the hardest time with my passing. Part of my journey has ended but someday we will all be together. I just went first as I was very tired and lonely. I am none of those things now. It is really quite wonderful here.

I Love All Of You,
Your Friend Forever,
Mozart

Christopher969, you always write the most beautiful words. The feelings I am having but am unable to put into words. Mozart was so very special and I loved her very much...wish she could have known how loved she was while she was with us. Tonight it is really just hitting me. My boyfriend is not at into MM and is not very supportive or caring when it comes to things of this nature. Friday and Saturday I had to keep my feelings to myself but today he's been at work and I have been alone. The tears started streaming down my face and I haven't been able to stop. I have always loved Mozart but not until today did I realize just how much and how much I will miss our precious Mozart.

misshakespeare:
Thank you for your kind words. I am so sorry that you have no one to share your feelings. My husband, Christopher, watches the shows with me and is ok with it. He reads some of what I write and understands why I write it. Writing about Mozart is easy for me as she was the sweetest Meerkat. Wanting for so much and never getting it. Now she is at peace..with her loved ones. It is always harder on the ones left behind. We have to pick up the pieces of our broken hearts and try to move on. Time will help all of us. It is ok to show your feelings. I feel sorry for people who do not understand or make fun of us. They do not know what they are missing. Take Care and we are here for you.

Your words could be from Mozart herself. I have just re-read tapirs poem then your letter and once again I am sobbing at my computer. Yes this jouney has ended but she is now starting a new one with the comfort of her family around her. My gentle thoughts are with Flower, Mozart and all of you tonight.

Hi Katspirit, I'm new here and could you tell me how you add Mozart to your tribute list?
I wish I could be here Monday night for the ceremony. I will try and make it after I get off. Mozart was so very special to me. I'm still crying and can't stop thinking about it.
I'm like the rest of you, my husband don't understand and think I'm crazy. He says he hated that she died but it's time to get over it. I don't think I will ever get over Mozart's death. She was my sweet little angel from the start. I'm really haveing a hard time with it and don't know what to do or how to get over it.
I loved her so much. I know the Lord has a special place for her and that she is with her pups.
I love and miss you Mozart
Glenda

Hi all,

This is Michael. I have been a loyal fan from the beginning, but had never posted before today. I guess I have been living under a rock because I had no idea that so many people had the emotional attachment to this show like I do. I watched evry week, but never ereally went on the website much or realized there were all of these forums.

And although each time I read a post about my poor Mozart I become sad again, it is nice to know I am not alone and that she was loved by so many, even though she was never loved enough by those around her. I will never be able to watch this show with the same happiness ever again, but hopefully her spirit will always live on.

My sweet little Mozart. How you will surely be missed. Your sweet little face. It made me smile everytime I saw it, because you are such a pretty thing. Truly a Princess and a lady. Kind, considerate, loving, caring, nurturing. You are now with Flower and Kinks, Carlos, Shakespeare, the pups. Your pain is gone now, you are at peace. God figured that since you weren't having any luck in the Kalahari, he'd just bring you home. I MISS YOU! But will never forget you. Rest now Little Princess.

mmity1 - Welcome Aboard. You are definately not alone. You'll get all of the support you need right here from everyone who thinks the same way. Stay away from the Spoiler section if you don't want to know what happens early. But again Welcome and big Meerkat hugs to you.

Thanks Titus, It's definitely nice to know I'm not the only one who was a complete wreck last week, although I might be one of the few single guys in his 30's. lol As I posted earlier on another topic, as soon as the episode ended I played with and held my kittens for about 2 hours, vowing that they would never go 1 day feeling scared or unloved like poor Mozart did for so much of her life. And I agree with the others who said her death was the most tragic. I was hoping she would somehow run into Mitch because I know he would have welcomed her back with open armsand maybe get her back to her family. It's amazing how many times she needed just 1 thing to go right and it never did. i will think of her every single time I ever watch the show again.

Hello everyone! Katspirit, will you please explain to me again on how to get to that chatroom lighting candle ceremony thing please? It sounds like a very nice thing to do, and i'd like to take part in it.Thanks so much!

~loveallmeerkats~

OMG!!! Mmityl, you are so not alone. I cried for 2 days streight when Flower died and ill probably do the same for Motzart. Im very happy that you've joined this forum and i hope you are to. just remember, there is always someone out there that feels the same as you do. (I am one of those people).
~loveallmeerkats~

I am the only one in my family that watches.
My husband things I am crazy for crying over Flower and Mozart.
I loved them.

I hope the show goes on forever

Thank You so much Loveall... I was really sad when Flower passed away too, but I took Mozart much worse. It was almost like they teased us so many times making us think there was a light at the end of the tunnel for her. I don't look at spoilers, so I just go by the previews which gave me hope. Flower always had her family with her and was a great leader. And I know if she had the choice to make again, she would give her life for her pups and diedshowing the same courage that made her such a great leader. But Mozart was such a tragic figure and spent so many of her final days lonely and scared. She deserved so much better in her life and I honestly thought she had found happiness.

It's great to be able to share this with everyone and read their feelings too. But at the same time, each post I read reminds me of my "favorite girl" and how much I'll miss her. I never thought this show would become so hard to watch. I was very lucky to have my kittens there after I watched it. It definitely made it easier to bear. Again, I dont read spoilers so I am already nervous about this week.

Thank u Christopher969. My husband doesn't understand my love of this wonderful meerkats and how I morn them.He is supported of the show and my chats.He just doesn't get my attachment to then ALL. It nice to come here and see lovely things like you have wriiten not just with Flower but with Mozart too.I wish you would have been on the Chat board last year when I was going thru an awlful time losing Tosca.I said this b4 on other threads,I don't know why I just fell in love with Tosca so.Yeah she caused trouble but I loved her anyway.It broke my heart when on season 2 when it was said she probaly starved over the winter.I worried about her for months. Sometimes we grab on to something or someone for unexplained reasons.I'd like to think the good Lord put these wonderful creatures on this Earth for a very good reason I like to think I'm a better person for it.

bumpy_40: Thank you for your kind words. There are many reasons why we choose a particular animal to love. They sometimes just grab a hold of your heart and you are in love with them. I did not know Tosca, as I only started watching in season 2, but I have bought season 1 and I am going to watch it after this next week is over. I also think that these animals mirror our lives and we can relate to them. I only wish I could have been there to take them away from all of the hunger and starvation, disease and all of the other harsh conditions of the Kalahari. I lost my best friend 7 years ago. It was so devastating, but now 7 years later I have her memories. They are only good ones. If I would not have lost my best friend I would not have met my husband. So, you have to take the bad with the good and process it accordingly. Who cares if people do not understand why we love these little guys so much. I could care less as I feel that they are the ones missing something. I also know that there is no time limit to stop grieving. It comes in many stages and sometimes takes quite awhile to get thru it. That is why we are all here to support each other. It works for me. Take care of yourself and write when you can and say what you want.

Your words are kind and wise.I belive all things happened for a reason,even the awlful things.One door closes, another opens.I know from my own life.
When you get season one tell us what ya think.The deaths are still there....just not so much.I think you will love Mozart even more and come to love Shakespere and maybe even...Tosca. Off now to clean my burrow. Much love and peace to all.

Hello Stormy,loveallmeerkats and all. I'm Sorry it took so long to answer I just got home from work. For the page that comes up click on log into Monday Night Candle and it should take you to the log in page. You can use any name you like and you don't have to register. Click on Connect and it will take you to the chat room. Be sure to have lots of kleenex-you will really need them! I went to one that someone had done for Flower and I was crying so hard I could hardly see my keyboard. You can read the tribute list but you don't have to add to it unless you want to. I don't think they would mind if Mozats's name is there several times-it shows how much she was loved. My thoughts are with you.
Hugs

Good evening to everyone,

katspirit, thank you to the link to the candle ceremony for Mozart. It's a wonderful idea and a great way to pay tribute to the Princess of the Kalahari.

Tapirs, I love your poem, it really captured Mozart's determination. She was a fighter, wasn't she?

mom2huskies, thank you for the pic of Mozart. She sure is a lovely 'kat.

christopher969, your words touch me deeply every time you write. Your letter from Mozart made me cry, I think that's exactly what she would say. Thank you for always knowing how to help me (and so many others) feel at peace.

I cried so hard during Mozart's episode that I soaked my shirt and then some. She was so special, she was always so sweet and caring. She was there for her family when any of them needed her. She nursed and babysitted the pups, was loving to all who knew her, and was there for Carlos and Kinkajou's final moments, grooming them. What a beloved meerkat.

Thank you to everyone on this board for sharing your feelings, and for allowing me to share mine. It helps us to heal, and I am very grateful. We support each other, without y'all I don't know what I would do.

Thanks again. And welcome janete, mmity1, and others new to the burrow. You'll love it here.

Thank you for doing that Katspirit! That was a lovely was to remember Mozart.

Thank you helperkat and everyone who was there for being there with me. So much pain and so many tears. Mozart would be overwhelmed by to love so many have for her. Good night and gentle thoughts are with you.
